Last week I changed the OEM Bilstiens with Koni's. The ride is much more plyable for sure.

the problem with the bilstiens is the factory bilstiens are not the same as the ones you buy from bilstien

the bilstien is a better shock after market... and I think they are the best available....

but because the bilstiens that come one the factory chassis ride soo harsh... that's what you here about....
not many here have took the stock shocks off... put the konis... then took them off for the bilstiens.......I did

I agree with LVRVLUVR I went with Bilsteins based on his results. Much better shock and greatly improved over stock on my chassis. Cant be more happy with the results. Oh and you were right about the rear numbers for the Excursion, Thanks for your post.

We went with Bilsteins and are very happy. Now be prepared when you go shopping
I went thru 6 vendors who were all out of stock on the ones we needed for our Monaco.none of the venders were sure when they would get them
Found them at Summit Racing and they were super to work with

your welcome..

you find a great improvement on wash board roads as the koni's will pack and foam up where as the proper valved bilsiens gas charged will not
enjoy
